SIGNS OF IMPAIRMENT OR MENTAL <br />ILLNESS <br />12 <br />10 <br />a <br />8 <br />6 5 <br />10 <br />Suspected of Being Known to be Under Mental Sober <br />Under the Influence of the Influence of Drugs Illness/Emotionally <br />Drugs or Alcohol or Alcohol Disturbed <br />Overall the Maplewood Police Department uses force very infrequently relative to the level of incidents <br />responded to, the number of enforcement actions, and the number of people in crisis officers comes <br />into contact with. Currently, there is no national reporting mechanism or mandate for agencies to <br />report the use of force incidents, making comparing our trends to others not possible. However, in each <br />use of force incident, supervisors are called to the scene and investigate it. In addition, the incident <br />goes through a comprehensive review process from (in addition to the on -duty supervisor) the use of <br />force coordinator who is a subject matter expert, the patrol command staff, and the chief of police. <br />Each step is analyzed regarding the totality of the circumstances and all the known information including <br />the review of body -worn camera footage. These facts are then reviewed for compliance with statutes <br />governing force and the more restrictive department policy. <br />Locations of 9-1-1 Calls <br />In the 2017 report, the agency looked at our community makeup and how our community is in <br />transition. In the 2018 report, the agency looked at suspects and victims and their relationships as well <br />as their demographics. With the community living situations changing within the city, the agency <br />chooses to look at where officers are being called to via 9-1-1 requests. <br />In 2019 Maplewood police officers responded to 6,834 emergency (9-1-1) calls for service. Of those <br />calls, the agency analyzed the first 3,417. The calls were categorized into six separate categories. The <br />calls were sorted on where the request for service was taking place. It is important to note that the city <br />is aware there is a large rental market for private homes. There is not a valid tracking mechanism in <br />place to determine how many single-family homes or privately owned townhomes/condominiums are <br />being rented by the owner(s). <br />The areas were broke out as private addresses, rental housing, medical facilities, community <br />spaces/locations, and businesses. <br />121 Page <br />
